Boxing is one the oldest and best-loved forms of fighting. Boxers need speed , strength, endurance and reflexes to win. The goal is to knock out the opponent. A knock-out means the fighter is unable to continue after a ten second count. Fights these days can also be stopped if a fighter cannot continue often because he is cut too badly. Boxing as an organized sport originates back to the ancient Greeks, introducing it as an Olympic game in BC 688. Boxing activity disappeared after the fall of the Roman Empire when weapons became more common for fighting. The sport was even abolished during the Gladiator Period as it was deemed excessively brutal and slaves were expensive. The slaves were sent in to fight each other in a marked ring on the floor. This is where the term ring came from. Boxing has evolved from the 16th and 18th century prizefights, mostly in Great Britain to the forerunner of modern boxing in the mid 19th century once again in Great Britain and then later in the United States.Today there are various weight levels:The top divisions are Heavyweight- Unlimited / Cruiserweight- 200lb / Light Heavyweight- 175lb, Super Middleweight- 168lb / Middleweight- 160lb.
